"Tangled" movie

[LettingGo]

Hi LettingGo! I posted a reply to the thread you started after posting your message: Fear of Being Me

Don't worry...I am not even thinking about, nor have I even considered---Banning you.     


Hugs,
CZ

Thank you CZ  for your kind words and the cleansing and healing tears they have created. You are giving me enormous freedom, and I know I have WoN. This is a healing place for two essential reasons (1) First and Foremost you CZ, without a person who is gifted to be a Healer, then healing can not take place. The Forum Leader must be a person of great integrity, trustworthiness, have huge accountabity and be responsibe for creating a Safe Place to Share. You CZ are WAY Above Normal. You are Not the Average -- and you are definitely NOT NORMAL -- in a GREAT WAY! Danu's forum had and still most likily does have great members, but if the Leader has a hidden agenda to Harm instead of Help, no matter how many great members there are and how much psy. info is there to learn from, the enviroment is very Toxic. It does take both a great Leader and support staff and fellow Members to create a WoN atmosphere. CZ you are a humble Woman, but let me say w/out any disrespect to anyone else, scientfically speaking great fellow members are EXTREMELY Sufficiant & Efficient, but what is Essential & Necessary is you CZ, or a person just like you that allows and empowers people to speak in their own unique voice. This does not even happen in the best of in person support groups, because there of the fear of rejection, being viewed in a covert or ambient way as Lesser Than.

Thanks for all that amazing input regarding "Tangled" and just Ns in movies, too. Wow! 

I watched it again with the kids, and we talked about it at length. I did mention how Mother Gothel is the most frightening because it's not just about using Rapunzel, but her very desire is to completely obliterate who Rapunzel truly is. We talked about how Mother Gothel put down all the gifts that Rapunzel has been given, and that to make fun of those gifts or belittle them or even not use them is a great disservice to who Rapunzel is ... Mother Gothel wanted Rapunzel to be the way she wanted and for her own amusement and power; Rapunzel, however, was made of different stuff, and it was horrible that she could not feel freely herself.

SPOILER ALERT

For example, she kept her drawing talent hidden behind curtains at the tower, but once she was more secure in who she was and what she wanted, she was able to draw in public and share her gifts with others.

There's so much in the movie to help a child's (and heck an adult's) understanding of who we are called to truly be and how we can work towards becoming what we long to be ... rather than what is expected. Not just with Rapunzel, but with Flynn and the cast of characters at the Snuggly Duckling, too.

And SPOILER ALERT
Yes, it ends happily, but I like that Flynn was atypical of the movie heroes. He could have saved himself then cut Rapunzel's hair to save her, but he thought about her safety first. He learned to be selfless and he was less vain at the end. I liked his transformation as well. And I liked that both he and Rapunzel chose to change because of love ... they weren't forced to change in order to be loved (which is what Ns. are always programming into us ...).

Kiki, your Children are truly Blessed to have such an Amazing Mom who appreciates them, acknowleges their own unique gifts and longs to teach them how to protect their gifts from the Ns who come to kill, steal and destroy their unique gifts.

I also liked how Flynn wouldn't allow her to destroy her gift in order to save him.

Well said! Totally agree.
